Chapter 14-
November was almost over, the Professors decided to save the next Quittich game for Gryffindor for after the holidays. Slytherin would play one more.
"I can't believe it's almost the holidays!" James laughed. "Sirius, did we get enough of Snivellius?" Sirius just laughed.
"For now, yes!" Sirius laughed. "It's time we settle ourselves for our half grades!" Lars then remembered that his grades would be coming, and attached to his grades, a Slug Club invitation.
Lars had noticed Montague was an excellent Charms student, Flitwick always spoke of Montague as a rare talent, while McGonagall seemed to have forgotten Lars unfair attitude, as Lars had become an avid Transfiguration student, dedicated to the subject.
James jumped as he had received mostly mediocre grades, a C+ average. Sirius laughed as he received the same, Remus and Lars got similar grades, B+. Peter refused to say.
"Please tell us," James came up to Peter sarcastically. "We won't laugh at you," Peter still refused to, which James attempted to take his grade paper from him. Lily stopped James though.
"James Potter!" Lily yelled. "When do you stop!" James backed off. Lily then looked at Peter.
"Why do you follow them?" Lily asked Peter, who didn't give an answer, only mentioned about his cowardice.
"Gryffindor's are not cowards!" Lars yelled to Peter, who backed off. "They are loyal and true!" Lars looked at the rest. "We are true!"
Lily just walked away, muttering about how Gryffindor's need not to be so arrogant, which led to all the rest going to bed.
The next few days saw the December snow arrive. Slytherin played their second game; Gryffindor felt this scheduling was better for them, to have more games on hand against Slytherin.
James and Lars went to head out to the match, Slytherin vs Hufflepuff. On the way, Professor Slughorn ran into Lars, Lars nearly knocked into Slughorn, he had a potion.
"Sorry," Lars said, but stopped at the sight of Professor Slughorn.
"No need," Slughorn smiled. James walked far ahead. "How are you?" Slughorn asked, his Slug Club holiday came up soon. "Excited for the holidays?" Lars smiled, but started to walk forward.
"Yes, "Lars said loudly. "I got to go now though!" Lars waved and ran away, leaving Slughorn to carry his potion back downstairs.
Lars met up with James and took the last seat in the corner, only available seat. The match was a minute away from starting, Lars got up to the seat. Slytherin had a 20-10 lead. Lars watched Montauge, he had scored all the points.
Soon enough, Slytherin had a 50-20 lead. Two of Hufflepuffs best players were injured and out. Slytherin took advantage. They took a 90-30 lead over Hufflepuff, Montague was amazing, scored 70 of the 90 points. Slytherin was losing track though, despite the score. Hufflepuff's seeker had found the snitch. It was in his sight, But Slytherin caught on, the Slytherin crowd was chanting, so was the others. Slytherin felt comfortable, 130-50.
Montague continued to score, scoring 130 of the current 170 points in the game, Eventually, the Hufflepuff seeker got hit in the head by a bludger, knocking him out, as Lars and James watched, Slytherin caught the snitch, and all the other houses evacuated the pitch, leaving Slytherin to celebrate, including Lucius with Montague. Lars felt sick seeing that.
Lars did look forward to the Slug Club, Lars still wanted to look more into the parchment, maybe him and James could look into it, James and Sirius had a knack for trouble.
Lars realized that the next day, everyone had to sign up to go back home. Lars decided to head back home. But Lars wondered where Montague was staying. But with one week left, Lars had to settle down for classes.
